This "genetic memory" sounds a lot like Pavlov's archetypes theory. We started studying this in my Mythology seminar and I thought it sounded like a bunch of crap. Upon further thinking about it and applying it to myself I find that I believe in a genetic memory more and more. Before finding out much about my Scottish heritage, I was studying Celtic music in a music class. The teacher put on a CD with a solo piper playing Amazing Grace. To me, the music was beautiful, almost put me in a trance and I LITERALLY got goosebumps. Many of my class mates thought it sounded like a lot of racket. Also, as much as I loathe the cold weather, every time I see a picture of Scotland, especially in Alex's posts, I yearn to go there. To me, this is proof enough, but it is not really proof to anyone else.
